Days Gone and Until Dawn will be there, probably that pointless Horizon remaster. Just something new and exciting would be nice. More likely to come out of a third party to be honest. Might be silly optimistic but KH4 possibly and then a full look when TGS rolls round.
@TrickyDicky99 I don’t see how this gets them in the ecosystem though. You still need to buy a console for you to be spending money in Sony’s store or engaging with other ways that they make their money, like selling peripherals or bloody disc drives. Until there’s a way to buy PC games from Sony direct, there’s not exactly an ecosystem argument to be made.
What’s the point of having to sign in? It has no online component, you can’t buy anything through the PS Store or something like that. Which means the only reason for this is to harvest your data. Review bombing is slightly laughable in any context but I can understand why there’s a backlash.
Because TimeSplitters games are peak gaming. Been playing them again and I forgot a whole level where you shoot millions of hands with a Tommy gun because you’re having a cheese dream as a gangster.
@LogicStrikesAgain The problem was that everybody hated it. There was obviously an element of ‘anti-woke’ crap but it’s not like there was anybody really going to bat for it on the left either.
@Anti-Matter I wouldn’t be too sure of that, Outright Games has released Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and DC Comics games, which contain characters who have appeared in 18+ media. Is that not exactly the same as Astro Bot containing family-friendly versions of characters who have appeared in adult only games?
Literally all they have to do is develop a turn based game for the Switch or Switch 2 and they’ll sell boatloads in Japan. They definitely seem to have been chasing Western sales the last decade or so and I’m not entirely sure it’s panned out.
@Doctor_BK The PS3 was a cutting edge media player as well as a console. It also included full PS1 and PS2 support. Even then it wasn’t worth the money for a lot of people. Even though it came out pre-financial crash. Comparing a mid-gen refresh to Sony’s first HD console that also boasted a bunch of features is quite frankly madness. Features like…. an actual disc drive. The inflation argument also doesn’t hold when wages have not risen in line with inflation.
@yazzika I think the main difference is just that skating has evolved. People just film everything on their phones now for starters, the fisheye lens look is retro for a whole generation. The grit wouldn’t be authentic to skating as it is now, you’d be more realistic having TikTok videos in the game.
That’s not beef, that’s journalism in action. People like Geoff are there to be held to account, he’s a simp in a suit. Some people just need to stop huffing their own farts.
I’ve realised that due to the West Coast Main Line being added, that means we have both Glasgow Queen Street and Glasgow Central represented in the game, which is great. I use that line if I’m ever going down to London and it’s a lovely route, even if Avanti can do one!
@ZeD The second game actually has a level set called TimeSplitters Story Classic that puts even more plainly into view just how much of an improvement 2 is!
@DonJorginho Haha, the glazers will do it for free no bother, it’s the devs who’ll all of a sudden start coming forward after the massive backlash to the price that are a bit whiffy. Geoff’s currently getting annihilated by Hard Drive over his obvious bought-and-paid-for PS5 Pro tweets, it’s not a stretch that they’d be wanting devs to defend it too.

Re: Is DECAPOLICE Ever Actually Coming Out on PS5, PS4?
I love Level-5 but this is the most Level-5 thing ever. Still haven’t forgiven them for not giving us London Life with Spectre’s Call.
Re: God of War Ragnarok PC Mod Removes PSN Login Requirement
@Wiceheid Steam is not perfect but I trust Gabe Newell a hell of a lot more than I trust Sony. Once he goes, I fully expect Steam to go to the dogs.
Re: God of War Ragnarok PC Mod Removes PSN Login Requirement
Good. DRM in any form is bad.

Re: Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed (PS5) - Substantial Updates Paint Over Flaws of Beloved Platformer
@colonelkilgore It’s a full remake in a new engine to be fair, Sony would be charging that for a simple remaster on PS5!

Re: Dev Behind PS5, PC Flop Concord Could Close as Director Steps Down
Hulst seems to be at the centre of an awful lot of the dodgy decisions. Not old enough to be getting a ‘retirement’ though.

Money. Less resources used for more money gained.
Re: Jaw-Dropping 30th Anniversary PS5 Pro Console and Accessories Will Bankrupt You
@Yousef- It comes with plates for the disc drive, but not the drive itself.

The Pro doesn’t even come with a disc drive!!!
Re: Mini Review: Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars Reforged (PS5) - Wonderful Remaster of One of the Best Adventure Games of All Time

@Whiteghost Neither Suda or James Gunn were involved in development. It was developed by Dragami Games.
Re: Mini Review: Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP (PS5) - A Sweet Return with a Bittersweet Bite
It’s bizarre that they managed to just screw it up. Guess that’s what happens when you don’t have the original creators involved.
